Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said Friday that he expects to launch a statewide task force next year to examine urban violence and victim cooperation problems, including ones outlined in a recent Star series, "Many Bullets, Little Blame."
The Star's analysis found that 60 percent of shooting victims wounded last year did not cooperate with Kansas City police, who then shut down the cases. Because so few cases were fully investigated, just 10 percent of shootings last year resulted in criminal charges. Jackson County prosecutors said that in most cases they need victims' cooperation to pursue charges. But when shooters figure out they can get away with shooting people, authorities lose any deterrent effect, national experts told The Star.
"Your findings are fascinating," Koster said. "They caused a lot of people to stop and think."
The Star's project outlined how domestic violence cases in the 1980s shared similar problems of victim reluctance and an unfriendly legal system. A statewide task force launched by Gov. John Ashcroft helped change laws and policies and created more empathy for domestic violence victims, who couldn't help themselves, The Star noted.
Koster led a task force on domestic violence in 2010 to update laws that hadn't been comprehensively reviewed since the 1980s.
He said he already wanted to start a similar task force on urban violence because of continuing concerns about the homicide rates in the state's two biggest cities.
"Your recent set of articles added another chapter to that discussion," he said.
The domestic violence task force revealed that jurisdictions with the best victim cooperation sent detectives or victim advocates to meet with victims as soon as possible, Koster said, "to establish a rapport face to face, not on the phone, not through a letter." The task force recommended that police chiefs prioritize resources so detectives could "get out of their chairs and pay visits to victims to explain the process," he said.
"The human connection is really important," Koster said.
Gaining victims' cooperation is preferable to trying to force them to testify; a practice that proved unsuccessful in the 1990s, Koster said.
"All it did was build up distrust on both sides," he said.
Kansas City Police Chief Darryl Forté already has begun trying to improve how his department treats victims by starting a Community Support Division.

The Korean Smartphone manufacturer is expected to launch the new V30 at the IFA 2017 scheduled at Berlin. The phone is expected to go out on sale starting September but these are just initial roundups which will see daylight only after the actual launch.
V30 will have flagships specs ranging from Snapdragon 835 chipset, 6GB of RAM and is suppose to follow the LG G6 design structure. The Smartphone will feature a 6 inch OLED display rounded off at the edges and will be roughly keeping the size slimmer with 7.4 mm. The camera on the same would be a dual setup with 13 MP sensor combo having f/1.6 aperture along with the fingerprint scanner on the back.
Leaks also suggest that it would have Android 7.1.1 nougat out of the box with LG's proprietary skin on the top. Storage version can range from 32 GB to 64GB and we might also see a 128GB version as well. The battery would be a non-removable 3300 mAh battery which would feature wireless charging for some countries as well.
@onleaks on Twitter shared the picture of the smart phone which is extracted from the user manual of the phone.
In addition to my previous #LGV30 leak, just a little extract from its user manual... pic.twitter.com/6UYjBHwv4I— Steve H. (@OnLeaks) July 31, 2017
It is also tipped that the initial launch will be in South Korea followed by other markets and so on.
All the above information are extracted from various sources and feeds online hence confirmation about the same at this stage is kind of difficult. Hence once the round ups are confirmed we shall be sharing the exact specs soon.

Wednesday in New York City, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump criticized Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, saying her undisclosed foreign donations while at the State Department means she is the "most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the United States."
Trump said, "In the words of the Secret Service agent posted outside the Oval Office, somebody that saw her a lot and knows her probably better than almost anybody, she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office. From the bottom of my soul, I know this to be true. Her leadership style—volcanic impulsive, disdainful and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else—hasn't changed one bit. Perhaps the most terrifying thing about Hillary Clinton's foreign policy is that she refuses to acknowledge the threat posed by radical Islam. In fact, Hillary Clinton supports a radical 550 percent increase in Syrian refugees coming into the United States, and that's an increase over president Obama's already high number. Under her plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on earth, with no way to screen who they are, what they are, what they believe, where they come from. Already hundreds of recent immigrants and their children have been convicted of terrorist activity inside the United States. The father of the Orlando shooter was a Taliban supporter from Afghanistan, one of the most repressive anti-gay and anti-woman regimes on earth. I only want to admit people who share our values and love our people.
He added, "Hillary Clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved and gays put to death. Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations Hillary failed to disclose while at the State Department. Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the United States."

It's bad luck that we'll never get to see Michael Jordan play against LeBron James in their primes. With MJ turning 50 earlier this week, we got to relive Jordan's greatest hits on every platform imaginable.
And hey, the Miami Heat are in town Thursday. No better time to take a harder look at the career comparison of James and Jordan. The idea that LeBron could one day be considered greater than MJ seems insane, but when Phil Jackson, Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas say it, there's got to be some truth there, right?

Music & Worship
Worship is many things, but above all it is the honor we give to our Lord Jesus Christ… through the holiness of our hearts, the actions of our day, and through the praise as a family of God. As a church, we give thanks together in our worship services and celebrate through song, prayer, hearing his Word and witnessing his works in the lives of others!
We offer our best through sincere hearts as we share together in a style that is non-traditional, but embracing of our Christian heritage. Our "flavor" is ever changing; we believe that people learn and celebrate in many forms, so you might hear anything from a mandolin to a saxophone and everything in between. You might read along with the scripture from the King James Version, or you might see scripture come to life as it plays on a screen with a modern Bible translation in drama!
We strive to find new ways to experience God using the many different talents and gifts of the people he has called to serve and to share at FaithSpring! We invite you to join with us in worship and explore where God might be leading you to share or lead others in the fellowship together.
iFaith Children's Music Jesus LOVES little children and so does FaithSpring! At FaithSpring, we believe that children have a natural desire to sing to the Lord and to enjoy God's gift of music. Each week in iFaith, our Sunday evening program, our children are welcomed and energized by age-appropriate music that reinforces God's love to them. They present at their spring program as well as share music in our seasonal services. To connect your child with our iFaith, Click here.
Children's Choir - Does your child have a passion for singing? FaithSpring encourages children to develop their love of praise and offers Children's Choir during the school year beginning at 3:15pm. All children 1st - 5th grades are invited to learn more about music and go deeper in preparation and performance. Each child is given the opportunity to audition for special selections in our fall and spring productions, as well as offer special music with the children's choir during the year in worship. Contact Pastor Kim ([email protected]) for more information.
Students between 6th and 12th grade with a gift of singing or playing an instrument have a place at FaithSpring! We welcome the talent of our teens and tweens, whether in ensembles, youth choirs, or as a part of our worship team. In addition, students provide the leadership, vision, and planning for our annual Student Music and Mission Trip. For more information exploring Worship opportunities, contact Kim Johnson (email).
Worship at FaithSpring is coordinated by Kim Johnson, Worship Leader, with the integration and collaboration of people of all ages and walks of life! To learn more or to explore ways to share at FaithSpring, click here to email us.
The Media Team puts together the images and words for worship as well as web and print. They are always looking for capable and/or trainable assistants. For more information, contact Kim Johnson ([email protected]).
The Audio Team assists the band to produce the best sound possible for the congregation. They are always are interested in finding exceptional ears with expertise in mastering the controls of ever-changing dynamics.
Worship Visuals add impact and beauty to a space. Bring your creativity to enhance the worship space and provide a visual experience before, during and after worship.
On any given Sunday, FaithSpring's Worship Band will utilize 3-13 instruments to accompany 3-30 voices leading our congregation! We love to integrate a variety of musical talent and allow God's people to use the talents and gifts that He has given them. Our musicians rotate in weekly leadership and our desire is to grow further in depth and variety. If God has blessed you with a musical gift, we would love to help you serve Him with this as you lead His people deeper into faith through our services. To get involved, contact Kim Johnson (email).
The Praise Choir is a great blessing to the congregation and serves in a style that is uniquely FaithSpring. In addition to sharing in worship, our Praise Choir ministers to the community throughout the year and in services with area retirement centers. There is a place for you whatever your skill or experience level.
Lead Vocalists rotate every 3-6 weeks depending on the style, need, and vocal blend match of a given service. The schedule requires that vocalists are intentional in communicating availability and needs and accountable in preparedness. All lead vocalists share in weekly preparations with the Praise Choir and/or Bands.
Other Worship Services
Throughout the year there are other worship opportunities on monthly and seasonal rotations. During Christmas time and Lent (the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday), we offer separate worship services.
FaithSpring brings worship to several retirement communities in West Little Rock with communion services, chapel services, and hymn "sing-alongs". Musical accompaniment is always welcome for these services. Take a look at the web site calendar for upcoming services. To offer assistance with these services, contact Kim Johnson (email).

text: Christmas, the festive season is the happiest holiday of the year. The children attending the El Shaddai's Albert's Good News Center were involved in decorating their own classes, singing joyful carols and exchanging gifts. This was not only fun for them but it also helps them build their communication and social developmental skills. The Center organized a Christmas party for the kinder garden children's on 21 of December 16. A day prior to the event all the children participated in the different activities such as decorating the Christmas tree and decorating their classrooms.The Christmas party began with the singing of carols followed by some games. At the end, Santa Claus entered and this brought joy on the faces of the children. There were also some children who feared to look at a huge man dressed in a red costume. The arrival of Santa Claus made the party more interesting as he danced and distributed chocolates to the children. At the end of the programme a small Christmas gift bag was given to each child. The children enjoyed the party.

It was the shot heard 'round suburbia: Martha Stewart found guilty on four counts. Four counts of... well, of doing pretty much the same tricks that put George W. Bush and Dick Cheney into the running-the-country business. Alas, Martha made the mistake of offering huge financial contributions to the wrong political party, drawing the attention of a Justice Department that tends to give a pass to those who contribute to the right political party. And now she's going to jail. Somewhere on the internet, a porn fiend has already started googling for "nude martha stewart prison pics sex porn". We salute him.
However, we must not get distracted by kinky fantasies of Martha Stewart frolicking with her sister inmates in the prison showers. When Martha heads off to the Big House, she will be abandoning a massive corporate empire. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) churns out magazines, television shows, housewares, and a signature line of tasteful-yet-naughty adult novelty items. Without Stewart ruling over her company with a lilac scented iron fist, what will become of MarthaCorp?
It is possible that Stewart could run the empire from prison, just as many mafia types have attempted to do in the past. But even a minimum security, country-club prison will probably deny her the equipment necessary to make this happen. Sure, some incarcerated Mob guy could scrawl out notes on scraps of toilet paper or type up coded letters on prison stationary. But this is Martha freaking Stewart we're talking about here! If she is unable to make her own paper from oak pulp and rose petals; if she is not given access to a 53 piece monogrammed calligraphy set and premium Egyptian ink, Martha Stewart could not possibly send out a respectable letter of instructions back to HQ. Unable to communicate with her corporate minions, her empire will surely collapse in a matter of weeks.
Or will it?
CtS has discovered the identity of an extremely powerful man who is - at this very moment - plotting to swoop in and take control of MSO. Who is this would-be usurper to Martha's throne?
None other than John David Ashcroft, Attorney General of the United States!
At first, when the Attorney General had his prosecutors go after Stewart, we figured it was nothing more than a bit of political misdirection. By throwing the book at a high profile media figure like Stewart, he could afford to take it easy on his political allies at Enron and WorldCom... and still come off as "tough on corporate fraud". What we never realized, however, was that Ashcroft had an additional motive for prosecuting Martha Stewart - his burning desire to BECOME Martha Stewart!
Surprised that a stern and powerful man such as Ashcroft would wish to take on the role of America's Favorite Homemaker? You shouldn't be. When John Ashcroft isn't busy taking away your civil rights, composing patriotic songs (and forcing his underlings to sing them), or attempting to turn America into a Christian Theocracy, he enjoys dabbling in home decorating. In fact, he enjoys it so much, he hopes to use the marketing power of MSO to implement his interior design agenda in millions of homes across the country! Ashcroft already gave America a taste of his design sense back in 2002 when he spent $8,000 covering the exposed breast of a statue within the Justice Department's Great Hall. This brave act of anal prudishness is emblematic of the Attorney General's overall design philosophy - a philosophy that can be summed up in two simple words: "COVER EVERYTHING". Have you got lovely natural wood floors in your home? Ashcroft commands that you cover the shameful nudity of that floor with some nice shag carpeting. Did you invest in Italian marble countertops? Ashcroft insists that you cover that counter with plywood so as to preserve the counter's modesty. He even intends to expand this philosophy into the kitchen, where he will recommend that all cooked meats be doused with a generous layer of ranch dressing. Soon, no pork chop or salmon fillet will be safe!
To avert this catastrophe, we must support Martha Stewart in her darkest hour. Subscribe to her magazines, watch her TV shows, surprise your significant other with one of her adult novelty items. Though this course of action might be distasteful, it is the only way we can help Martha defend her company from Ashcroft's power play. Martha Stewart may be a vaguely creepy, mean-spirited bitch... but she's OUR creepy, mean-spirited bitch. Allowing John Ashcroft to take her place would most definitely NOT be a Good Thing.

Brits are Europes champion shopliftersNovember 20th, 2007 - 5:23 pm ICT by admin
London, Nov.20 (ANI): Britain has been declared the shoplifting capital of Europe, with more than 1.5 billion pounds worth of products a year being stolen by customers.
Most goods are stolen in the four weeks before Christmas, with 26.4 million pounds worth of items disappearing from supermarket shelves, shops and off-licences every day.
Another 1.6 billion pounds worth of products are stolen by employees or lost in the distribution chain, reports The Times.
As a result of this chronic theft, every household in Britain ends up paying an extra 150 pounds for their goods this year.
The most popular goods to be targeted are alcohol, razor blades, accessories and specialist meats.
Britain has topped the table in Europe for the last seven years, meaning consumers have paid hundreds of pounds extra to cover the cost of the thefts.
David Nuttall, the managing director of Checkpoint Systems, who helped compile the report, said: Shops in Britain are open 24/7, which means that there are more outlets open, which means there is more opportunity for theft.
The annual Global Retail Theft Barometer looked at more than 800 retail giants, covering 32 countries, and responsible for 447 billion pounds worth of sales every year and found that Britain had the worst record for what it refers to as shrinkage.
It has topped the table for the past three years in Europe.
The report, which was compiled by the Centre for Retail Research in Nottingham and Checkpoint Systems, in the year up to July found that theft had cost retail establishments a total of 49.8 billion dollars a year globally.
Overall, shoplifting accounted for almost 21 billion pounds, staff theft for 17.5 billion pounds, supplier theft and fraud took up 3.1 billion pounds and accounting and administrative errors accounted for 8.2 billion pounds.
Last year, the amount lost to British retailers because of shrinkage fell by 3.3 per cent but the amount spent on security fell by 22 per cent to 769 million pounds.
The US has the worst record for shrinkage, losing about 20 billion pounds a year, although it is one of just a handful of markets where staff theft accounts for more losses than customer theft.
The British Retail Consortiums crime survey, released last month, found that shoplifting had increased by 65 per cent its highest level in ten years since the introduction of 80 pounds on-the-spot fines.
Last year, an estimated 33,000 offenders were punished with a fixed penalty notice. (ANI)

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has named Hy-Vee's specialty pharmacy division its preferred provider of specialty pharmacy benefits for members, Hy-Vee said.

Under PEPFAR, Matrix granted tentative approval for novel co-packaged HIV/AIDS treatment
PITTSBURGH — Mylan subsidiary Matrix Labs has received tentative approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its new drug application of a co-packaged antiretroviral treatment under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Matrix said that lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets in the 300-mg/300-mg strength, co-packaged with nevirapine tablets in the 200-mg strength, would be eligible for purchase outside of the United States in certain developing countries. Lamivudine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and nevirapine are the generic versions of GlaxoSmithKline's Epivir, Gilead Sciences' Viread and Boehringer Ingelheim's Viramune, respectively.
"The approval of lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets co-packaged with bevirapine tablets is an important product developed by Matrix for the treatment of HIV/AIDS," Mylan president Heather Bresch said. "For the first time, it makes available a co-pack option that can help patients with the carrying and storage of this critical first-line ARV cocktail. Co-packs are convenient and may help to facilitate patient compliance with what often can be part of a burdensome drug regimen for HIV/AIDS patients managing many prescriptions and therapies."
Watson, Amphastar get go-ahead for generic Lovenox
PARSIPPANY, N.J. — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a generic version of a deep vein thrombosis treatment.
Watson Pharmaceuticals said that Amphastar Pharmaceuticals' abbreviated new drug application for enoxaparin sodium injection in the 100-mg/mL and 150-mg/mL strengths received approval from the FDA. Enoxaparin sodium injection is the generic equivalent of Sanofi's Lovenox.
The generic drug development is part of Watson and Amphastar's exclusive distribution agreement, whereby Amphastar will supply generic Lovenox to Watson, which will market, sell and distribute the product to the U.S. retail pharmacy channel. Additionally, Amphastar will receive between 50% and 55% of Watson's gross profits on product sales, depending on the number of competitors in the market.
Lovenox and its generic equivalents had total U.S. sales of approximately $2.6 billion, according to IMS Health data.

I can't understand why America has their collective panties in a twist over kneeling, sitting or otherwise "disrespecting" the national anthem and/or the flag.
Don't they have as much right to demonstrate their dissatisfaction as others have to demonstrate their support?
I'm a Vietnam vet and I don't take offense. I'll always stand and render a hand salute, but this IS America.

|Help! Help!
I'm being repressed!
I agree with you, but I also think that we all stand for other nations' national anthems out of respect. If they want to protest they should do it off the field. It would be better for everybody.
In the end everything will work out. If the players want to protest on the field, that's fine. If they NFL want's to coddle that behavior, that's fine. If the American people turn off their TVs when a football game comes on, then that's fine too.

If this has to be explained to you, I don't think it would do any good to try.
I've given up trying to explain...
I was talking about this yesterday with my boss, and how I gave up my tickets for the game this weekend and I no longer consider myself a Ravens fan. The minute he said "well the thing is the original reason for this protest has been lost..." I instantly knew he was a moron and changed topics quickly. No point in even debating with him.

The "I'm a vet and..." thing reminds me of people who assert "I don't see why anybody needs an assault weapon" or "I don't see why anybody needs more than ten rounds" and then goes on to insist "I'm a gun owner."

That's what so great about this country. OP is not offended, and that's fine. And, I'm sure there are many like him, and that's fine, too. But, there are also countless of us who are offended by their acts. I'm puzzled why you, OP, are "at a loss". By your own admission, this IS America, and if thugs choose to disrespect the flag/national anthem, and they have the right to do so, then we also have the right to get our "collective panties in a twist". Why is it so hard to understand?

Athletes matter as much as celebrities- they don't. All of the extra air time they are getting over this crap is only inflating their already oversized egos.

You do see the issue they are kneeling to draw attention to is in fact an outright lie, right?
And they want you to believe and support the lie?
I too am a veteran. And if you fail to at least stand in respect to our country's flag at a large public event, then you have chosen to ignore the blood, toil and sacrifice of the people who went before you to ensure that flag exists today.
I have been doing something lately which I have not done in the past. I have visited the local cemeteries and sought out the graves of the veterans who have passed on before me. Often their markers are forgotten, weed covered and dirty. I take a second to yank a few weeds and brush off some dirt. And I when I come across the last small monument to a man who made the ultimate sacrifice in combat, I am thankful he is not here to see Americans kneel in open public contempt of the flag he died to support.

Maybe the fact is their reasoning. At first it started only after one player's career was on the line. He came up with his comments (or more likely his girlfriend) when his neck was on the line. As the season was a disaster and 49er fans left in droves to the point of defaulting on their season ticket psl's causing a financial issue for the team and the city who put up the funding for their new stadium.
Odd that all the years his career was doing ok, he never had these issues????
Now they continue to claim that it's because of law enforcement treating the black population unfairly and how many die as a result.
Of course they ignore more white suspects die two to one than black yet apparently they don't count because they are specifically excluded from this protest.
They again ignore that out of about 64 MILLION contacts a year, about 920 result in law enforcement shootings resulting in death. So what are the odds? Out of the average 16,000 homicides a year, what percentage is committed by a black suspect? Seems to me they have a lot better chance getting killed by a gang or drug dealers or random act of violence than in a le involved shooting.
Chicago, everyone favorite example is up to 531 homicides and 2860 shootings. (2 dead and 11 shot so far this weekend). 10 involved the and police agency. Long odds there.
Meanwhile for all their on field outrage, what are they doing about it? Taking a knee? what a joke. Are they actually going into the community on their free time to try and reverse the reasons that so many die? Are they doing anything about the fact that 67 percent ofblack families is a one parent home?
How about the fact that significantly less black students graduate high school than other races in the same school systems? how many are simply passed along? Doing anything to get them to stay in and actually get a education?
Those players show up every now and then for a NFL mandated photo op. On their own, few do anything for their own community. Living and working next to the stadium housing two NFL teams, FEW every got involved with the community. Some do but they are rare.
But it's everyone elses fault.

It's simple really: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy." Winston Churchill
First a question Bullshooter: How do you feel when someone calls you a baby killer because you were in the Vietnam War? I bet you feel pretty upset when they spout off about something they have no clue about. Let's face it, your generation of soldiers, sailors, and marines were treated very poorly because of some propaganda. We are seeing a new kind of attack against not only our military, but our country as a whole.
I'm going to break it down for you kindergarten style, so please follow along, I'll try to go slow:
The entire debacle is based on a LIE! There is not one example that can be cited that proves racial bias from the law enforcement community within the last 20 years, but a story can be told and spun by a complicit media, which is what happened.
As to why it pisses people off: I'd imagine it's because those that do not show respect for our country are spitting directly into the faces of everyone that has fought for and died while fighting the foes of our country since the 18th century. Sure, it's a right that is guaranteed, but so was shouting baby killer and a plethora of other obscenities. It doesn't really make it right though does it?
Communist propaganda seeks to weaken nations through a number of means. Distancing the armed forces of the nation from its civilian population is one of them and the result is advantageous to Communists for a number of pretty obvious reasons.
It reduces the likelihood of young persons from wanting to serve in the military
It reduces the desire to support a strong military and reduces support for military spending by that nation
It reduces support for military actions and increases the demand to end them.
It undermines troop morale
That's just some of the problems with this bullshit. There are so many forces working right now to cut the knees out from beneath the fine citizens of this country. If we stand idly by and allow the lies to continue, we will be complicit in our own demise. Don't be a useful idiot for the liberal/communist cause!
No thanks, I've already got a penguin.

Perhaps another point of view will help:
Obviously, I don't agree with their position, but I DO support their right to say/do what they feel. It's called Freedom of Speech. I have no more right to suppress their expression than they do to suppress mine.
Where the shit hits the fan for me is WHERE they're doing it. They're creating, whether intentionally or not, the impression that the NFL, their team, the broadcasters, their sponsors, the city and taxpayers that built the stadium they're playing in and various other hangers-on are part of their "protest" and they absolutely are NOT.
If they want to spout their lame-brained bullshit in a one-on-one interview or at a night club or a police line-up or wherever, fine. As part of an entertainment venue with nation-wide viewers and thousands of attendees? Nope. Shut the fuck up and play the game you're being over-paid to play.
(Cue the "free market" pricing crowd...)
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
|Bolt Thrower
It's a bad idea to spit in someone's face while asking for their patronage. I personally find footballers as interesting as reality tv stars and the game as much as a daytime soap opera, so perhaps I am out of touch.
|The Unmanned Writer
Oh and to the OP; if/when an employer knowingly allows his/her employee to actively disrespect the flag under which I served and was (and still am) ready to lay down my life for, then I as a [potential] customer will actively avoid the avoid the business up to and including pointing out to all how un-American and disrespectful of this country they are.
Yes, it is their right to do such things just as it is my right to highlight their disrespectfulness for the country in-which they are.
And please not forget, these are the same "persons" who disrespected their flag/country as representatives in another.
Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul.
Help, I'm having premonitions of future flashbacks.
Only in an insane world are the sane considered insane.
Some people listen to the noise of the world,
And some people listen to the quiet.
|Telecom Ronin
While the flag stands for the very right to burn/stand on....piss on it.
It does not protect you from the commercial consequences.
Their whole protest is based on a lie....and Kapernacommie is a cop hating communist aka....fucktwaddle
To be honest when the nation anthem is played and people don't react respectfully I have the urge to slap them upside the head.....now I fight that urge....except for once with my 16yo
Short answer: no. Our Constitution says "Congress shall make no law...". An employer, such as the NFL, can ban these protests, if they have the stones. The employee players have no "right" to hold protests at work.

Map vs Sat Nav
IF YOU have ever had the pleasure of sitting down to watch Mike Leigh's 'Nuts in May', supreme study in tension and discomfort, you will no doubt remember the scene where Keith admonishes Candice Marie for having the Ordnance Survey map upside down. They have just been inconvenienced by the closure of the road to East and West Lulworth via Povington Hill. 'What does it mean, Keith?" bleats C-M. "It means we're going to be late," replies Keith, sternly.
We deduce from this that Candice-Marie can't read a map. Which gives her something in common with thousands of young drivers who rely entirely on satellite navigation to get them from A to B. A poll last month by myvouchercodes.co.uk has found that a complete reliance on devices such as the satellite navigation system is leading to poor map reading ability among a majority of Britons under the age of 25.
Of the 1,976 UK motorists aged under 25 who took part in the survey, two out of three admitted their inability to read a map – needing to depend almost completely on their sat nav while behind the wheel.
More than four out of five (83%) young motorists questioned using a satellite navigation system in their vehicle, while a map is used by only a quarter of the respondents.
So far, then, it's map readers 1, sat nav users 0. But it doesn't stop there, because apparently more than seven million drivers are playing a potentially deadly new craze sweeping Britain's roads: 'sat-nav racing'. The aim of this 'bizarre' game is to beat the car's GPS navigation system by arriving at the destination faster than its estimated time of arrival.
Sat nav predictions are based on speed limits, so it stands to reason that those who do beat the clock will be either travelling above the speed limit or taking risks to weave their way through traffic.
Don 't get me wrong. If used correctly, GPS units are an excellent invention, helping drivers to navigate effectively and concentrate on the road far more than when using maps or printed directions. What's more, they can reduce stress levels among drivers, which promotes a safer journey – and they have their green credentials, too. After all, it's reckoned that drivers in Britain waste the equivalent of 267 Olympic sized swimming pools of fuel just by poor journey planning and getting lost.
Personally, I can pore over a road map for hours and hours. I love looking at them. But I also greatly value the sat nav that's been a loyal companion on journeys for the past ten months.
You can't reverse progress, so it would be absurd to call for all motorists across the UK to cast their TomToms aside and resort to the use of maps alone. But I for one would be in favour of a learning system requiring learner drivers to complete – say – three cross-country journeys of at least 60 miles, with access only to a map for navigation purposes. I wonder what Keith and Candice Marie might think of that.

Study: Rio Rancho better than Albuquerque for families
Study: Rio Rancho better than Albuquerque for families
Even though Rio Rancho and Albuquerque are so close, a new study says they're miles away when it comes to quality of family life.
ApartmentList.com recently ranked the top cities in America for raising a family.
Rio Rancho landed near the top at 37. The city got an A- for low crime, good housing costs and good education opportunities.
Albuquerque got a D. The study said Albuquerque was mainly docked for its high crime rate, and poor education opportunities.
The website used data from the FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct the study.

To: All Vinings Residents
From: The Vinings Management Office
Dear Resident:
Once again we are trying to make everyone understand that Valet Trash pickup starts at 8:00pm every Sunday and ends on Thursday. There is no pick up on Friday or Saturday on those days you must take your trash to the compactor. If your trash isn't picked up on the days scheduled please contact the office. Do not leave your trash outside for pick up on the next scheduled day. This will only attract insects, rodents, stray animals and create a bad odor. Trash bins are to be taken inside on a daily basis. It is the responsibility of the resident to keep their trash bin clean. We will start charging a fine of up to $50.00 per incident if the Trash bins aren't taken inside. We will be monitoring those of you who leave your trash bins outside and will be adding a $50.00 charge on your account.
Do not leave cartons or cardboard boxes outside by the Trash bin; they will not be picked up unless flattened.
We ask for everyone's cooperation in making this a smooth and better transition.
Thank you,
Migdalia Torres

You have no idea how happy I am that today is Mallomar Day. I have eaten three, yes three boxes of Mallomars since last Tuesday! Do you have any idea how many Mallomars that is? No wonder I always gain weight this time of year. It's all because of those cushions of chocolate delight; Mallomars! You see the picture above? I have two confessions about that image. First, it's small on purpose. There is no way in this world I could bear to write these words and look at all those Mallomars staring at me as they whisper "Here I am, just waiting for you" No Way! Second, the package must I mean Must! stay closed until the very last moment...
It didn't surprise me to discover Mallomars were introduced to the American public on November 20, 1913 by the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco), after all, these little delights of heaven are somewhat seasonal. Whoops, I almost typed cookies but, quite frankly, I wouldn't describe them as a cookie (although, Nabisco does:). Yes, they do have a cookie base topped with a puff of marshmallow, covered with crunchy semi sweet chocolate but I'm not sure cookie is the answer. As one writer wrote, a Mallomar is a Mallomar is a Mallomar! There's a great article about the Mallomar as an American icon at Extreme Chocolate. You see, I'm not the only one who has a fixation on these pillows of contentment.
How one eats a Mallomar seems to be another top priority to true Mallomar aficionados. To freeze or not to freeze is another dilemma when it comes to these bundles of joy. I'm not a freezer. And, I'm not quite sure what category I fit in to although, standard with a twist might be where I fit with my Mallomars.
...There are many ways to eat a Mallomar, but only three are officially sanctioned for international competition: biting off the marshmallow part and saving the graham cracker for last (superior method); biting off the graham cracker and saving the marshmallow part for last (dorsal method); and biting into the cookie like regular food (lateral, or "standard," method). I am something of a Mallomar dullard. I use the standard method. But I should add that I employ wilder scenarios for both Oreos and Vienna Fingers (breaking them open, eating the half with no delicious cream, then either scraping off the delicious cream with my front teeth or, if rushed, simply eating the other half), so you can still invite me to your party without fear that I'll kill the fun...more, more...
I wouldn't dream of peeling the chocolate away like I do with a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream pop. No dunking or deep frying either. You know who you are you Oreo lovers, you. I really don't know how I eat a Mallomar now that I think about it. I dive right in. My real calculations comes when I'm getting to the end of the box. Do I just devour the entire box and hope I will find another? If not, how many should I save for my next attack? Three, five, nine? This has to be done precisely according to time, mood and circumstances...I suppose, I could always whip up my own Homemade Mallomars but, I doubt it would be the same:)

TX16Wx is overlooked and underrated, despite being the best software sampler today. And I'm not even talking about the Pro version – the free version can easily compete with commercial products. To my mind, it has everything you need for creative sampling:
- Fast workflow.
- The fact that it actually SAMPLES: you don't necessarily have to use samples – you can record your own sounds straight into TX16Wx and start editing them right away.
- Great looking GUI (which is also resizable and customizable).
- Huge feature list that ensures comprehensive sound design and sample editing possibilities.
- Low CPU usage (though it can be quite high if you decide to use extreme quality settings).
- Stability.
TX16Wx doesn't have a 100 GB sample library because it was never intended to. It's purpose is to bring back the joy of creative sampling. And I believe TX16Wx serves its purpose really well.
Although it is a feature-packed sampler, don't be intimidated and discouraged – you don't need to use all of its features. In fact, thanks to flexible GUI, TX16Wx can be as simple as a sampler can get: just hide the panels that you don't want to use – this way you will have less complex GUI and faster workflow. Also, as always – make sure to read the manual before using it.
Finally, it has active support and the Pro version is very reasonably priced, so if you like using TX16Wx free, I think you should definitely support the developer by purchasing the Pro version.Read more

Robert paints are, in his own words, "a new kind of icon." They are not Eastern Orthodox icons, but rather a new genre that he hopes will help revitalize sacred art in the Christian West. Br. Robert paints what he calls Franciscan icons, where the transcendent and the imminent meet in ways responsive to life in the 21st century.

WASHINGTON, June 8 (UPI) -- A chicken received a rude awakening when its owner discovered it "sleeping" face down in his backyard.
Fred Eaton shared video of his chicken with its legs sticking up from a pile of grass before poking it several times in an attempt to wake it up.
"I caught my chicken sleeping on the job," Eaton titled the video.
After a few inquisitive pokes from Eaton the chicken placed itself upright and began running around the yard and clucking.
Eaton went on to clarify that the chicken was not harmed in any way, but simply remained still in the pile of grass because it was unable to see.
"The chicken was OK," he wrote. "I had placed it down on its head, and since it could not see it stayed there. It is a common thing for chickens."

Year in review: Banks girls rewrite record books
The Banks girls basketball team had a year to remember.
Despite the lack of a storybook ending, the Braves reached an ultimately satisfying end by way of varying means, which spoke volumes about their coach, their work ethic, and ultimately the girls responsible for persevering during and after an emotionally trying season.
After losing a heartbreaking state final game to three-time defending champion Sutherlin, in a game in which Banks surrendered an 18-point lead over the final 10 minutes, the Braves settled for a second-place trophy to go with a Cowapa League championship, a bevy of individual accolades and, in the end, the most decorated Banks girls basketball season in the school's history.
The Braves started the season 13-1 before losing two key contributors due to disciplinary action. Afterwards, many — including this reporter — wrote the team off in regards to a deep postseason run, considering the loss of significant personnel to be too big a blow to overcome in the midst of the season.
But head coach Brandon Begley saw things differently, and after an initial loss to Seaside, the reinvented version of the Braves won five regular-season and four postseason games before the disappointing loss to Sutherlin.
"We definitely had to move some pieces around to make things work," said Begley after their first win with his new lineup. "We haven't had an opportunity to practice in our new roles, and we're going to have to talk a little more on defense, call out help, call out screens, et cetera. But that will come, and I think we'll get it together."
He was right.
Senior Anna Klein, junior Sydney Gregg, and sophomore point guard Aspen Slifka spearheaded the new approach, and with help from a variety of people around them like seniors Karlie Gerlinger and Katie Ragsdale, Begley's "new" Braves thrived in the midst of the perceived turmoil, right up to the point in which they didn't. For 10 minutes.
"As the lead got smaller and smaller, we just tightened up," the dejected coach said. "We talked about everything we've been through this year and how by coming together we can get past this. We just have to believe. But unlike the rest of the year, we weren't able to overcome it."
Begley was honored as the Cowapa League Coach of the Year; Klein, Gerlinger, Gregg, and Slifka were selected to the all-league team, while Ragsdale was honorable mention. In addition, Klein was voted to the all-state second team, while Slifka was all-state honorable mention.

"Virtual contact centers have become more necessary for midsize businesses that are looking to implement their global service using a cloud solution." - Konstantin Kishinsky, CEO and Founder of Bright Pattern
San Bruno, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2016
Bright Pattern today announced two major new capabilities for deploying Cloud Contact Centers globally:
Local presence: which allows a Cloud Contact Center to create points of presence across the globe with local telephone numbers and recording. Local phone numbers are cost effective and shorten the voice path for better voice quality. Local recording provides compliance with country regulations.
Region-aware routing: which allows global companies to preferably direct incoming calls simply from a region to local resources.
These two essential capabilities complement the Any-cloud feature released in Bright Pattern's Spring 2016 release. The Any-cloud feature allows enterprises to select the cloud provider of their choice for running their Cloud Contact Center software. Bright Pattern's Any-cloud feature is supported on Open Stack, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and more. It provides businesses with additional flexibility for running multiple instances of their Contact Center software across the globe.
"Virtual Contact Centers have been an essential requirement of enterprises for several decades." says Konstantin Kishinsky, CEO and Founder of Bright Pattern. "What has changed lately is that it has become more necessary for midsize businesses that are looking to implement their global service using a cloud solution."
By decoupling call termination and recording and offering the choice of the cloud platform, Bright Pattern is creating new options to virtualize Cloud Contact Centers.
Bright Pattern has released a white paper that explains the challenges of deploying customer service globally and outlines more sophisticated cloud architecture options that solve some of the common challenges of global deployment.
Local presence and Region-aware routing are available with Bright Pattern's upcoming Fall release.

Innovate or evaporate
I recently weaned off years of corporate a provided Blackberry to a personal smart phone. What a fantastic product and a true lesson of innovation. The smart phone does so much and is so user friendly. The geeks get the credit.
Products seem to get all the focus when it comes to innovation. Sure, leaders must have the insight to provide the funding and vision to allow the geeks to take off with their ideas, but what about leadership innovation at its basic level. What should leaders be looking for in assessing their team's innovation? There are a plenty! Leadership innovation includes process improvements, recruiting successes, team maturity accomplishments, virtual skill development, and business model overhauls. Innovation should be assessed in all we do and of those around us. In fact, leaders need to be careful to not set a tone of technical innovation being more important than business innovation. They work hand-in-hand.
What have you done lately to encourage business model innovation?

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Warning Signs and other Date topics.
According to the latest research findings, 1 in 5 teenagers are being physically or sexually abused by their partners. This has to stop. Abuse hurts individuals. It damages self-worth. It hurts a person's belief in the good of others. It prevents teens from developing healthy relationships. Here are some things you can do if you are being abused, if you have been abused, or if you know someone who is being abused.
1) Talk to someone who you trust about the abuse.
2) End the relationship. Statistics reveal that abuse in dating is more likely to continue or intensify in marriage.
3) Don't be afraid to call the police if abuse has occurred. Those who abuse need to have consequences for their actions or they will continue to abuse. They need help.
4) Seek professional help if the abuse has hurt your belief in yourself. A therapist can help you understand the tactics the abuser used to make you believe that the abuse was normal.
5) Learn as much about abuse as you can so you can be better prepared on how to deal with it.
Never put up with abuse and never abuse others. Abuse hurts the self-worth of both the victim and the abuser. NOBODY deserves to be abused!

|Can't find differences between DispatchPolicies
|Mon, 16 Jul 2007 08:55:48 GMT
Hi, I'm trying the diiferent Dispatch Policies but the dispatching way is the same. I have 5 threads which contain one slow consumer (sleep). My destinationPlicy is as the following: <destinationPolicy> <policyMap> <policyEntries> <policyEntry> <destination> <queue physicalName="myqueue" /> </destination> <dispatchPolicy> <roundRobinDispatchPolicy /> </dispatchPolicy> </policyEntry> </policyEntries> </policyMap> <oldestMessageEvictionStrategy/> </destinationPolicy> when I send 10000 messages, 3 threads receive 2000 messages, 1 thread receives 2999 messages, and the slow consumer 1 message/10 s. when I stop the receivers and restart them, one thread consumes the rest of messages not consumed. If I change the dispatchPolicy to strictOrderDispatchPolicy, the same scenario will be repeated. * I want to know if there is a solution to force other threads to consume the messages of the slowest directly without the need to stop and restart them(access to messages of the slowest's RAM). * I'm not able to apply oldestMessageEvictionStrategy. Thank you for your help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can%27t-find-differences-between-DispatchPolicies-tf4085262s2354.html#a11611341 Sent from the ActiveMQ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

TSG Group has told MONS that it plans to enhance its ADCCS (Air Defence Command and Control System) over the next year to enable the system to be capable of providing defence against drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
The ADCCS is essentially a scalable software system which can be used for the Command and Control (C2) of air operations. The company informed MONS that the product is in use with the Israeli Air Force providing operational level air C2 for the entire country producing the national recognised air picture and the means to prosecute hostile air targets (including rocket, artillery and mortar fire) as well as the command and control of air operations. The company states that the ADCCS has been operational with the Israeli Air Force for the past 35 years, although the system has been continuously enhanced and upgraded throughout the entirety of its life to enable it to remain abreast of current and emerging threats. In addition, the product is used to provide C2 for the Rafael Advanced Defence Systems David Sling active radar homing, and Israel Aerospace Industries Arrow family active/semi-active radar homing surface-to-air missiles in service with the Israeli Defence Forces.
The planned upgrade to enhance the system to detect and prosecute drones and UAVs will take the form of a software enhancement which can be rolled out across existing ADCCS in service around the world, the company continued. TSG also stated that it can provide sensors from third party supplies and integrate these with the ADCSS software to ensure the drone/UAV detection and prosecution mission.
